Are there any other companies, besides Speedway that offer an adapter kit for a T5 transmission to a 59a (38) flathead using a hydraulic throw out bearing?

I'm having trouble getting good answers as if this is even possible.

I believe Krylon 32, on here, is Cornhuskers. They make a kit, but don't know about the hydraulic throw out bearing.

Gary at Cornhusker sells a hydraulic slave cylinder bracket and kit for the T5 as well.

I have kits for the 85-92 (Chevy Bolt pattern) and 93 up S-10 T5 trans (Ford bolt pattern). I also have a slave cylinder assembly that bolts to the side of the trans. keeps the hydraulic fluids on the outside of the bellhousing. Many times I can provide the parts to hook to your stock clutch linkage. Been selling these kits for almost 20 years. Call 402-749-1932 with questions. Gary at Cornhusker Rod And Custom

I can vouch for Gary's adapter kit. It's honestly everything you need to mate the T5 to your flathead.

I'm running a 85-92 trans with Gary's adapter kit, disk and pressure plate, as well as the slave cylinder assembly. I put over 6000 miles on the car last year, and continue to rack the miles up this year, with out any problems.

I just got a steel bell from Quick-Time. I think they are a Lakewood company.
They have bellhousings to mate just about anything to anything.
SFI approved. Got mine for a late flathead to TKO 5 speed.
May have to get w/Gary about the hydro slave setup.
I'm a newbie here.

Good answers are sometimes difficult to get and since no one has answered your question yet, I did a simple google search and came up with a couple hundred hits.
The answer to your question is, yes.
Here is one place to look.
